Not an expert, those who know more, please correct me.
I think all name disambiguation is made by adding the instance name after. So if someone has the user pics in pixelfed.social, it would be [email protected], while the lemmy.world community would be [email protected].
I mean if on Pixelfed you @[email protected], what happens if there's a user with that name. Does it post to the community or send a message to the user somehow?
On lemmy communities start with
!while users start with@.. but it looks like you used@to reference the communityI think you are right, but here it is where my knowledge falls short and why I didn't write @[email protected] or [email protected]. I think those would be user and community respectively.
